In the Mood for a Little Ooh La La

I've always been fond of hats, but this is my first time wearing a beret. Don't get me wrong. I think berets are super cute, but just have had trouble to pull it off myself. Thanks Zoe for helping me styling it this time! The simple tips would be make sure you wear a beret slightly (or dramatically) sideways and don't cover too much of your forehead. Also use some bobbi pins to make sure your hair stays in place.

These high-waisted shorts are 100% cotton so unlike jean shorts, it is really easy to move around in them. You can see how short they are from American Apparel's pictures here (Ooh la la!). If that is too much skin for you, try to pair them on top of some great leggings or tights and then you should be good to go :D.

Thanks Zooey for the photos and letting me borrow that cute beret!

In the Mood for a Splash of Sun

I'd like to note that this is not my dog although he made an adorable accessory and I highly recommend him for anyone who wants something fluffy in their lives. I put together this outfit because I wanted to show off these cutout oxfords. It took me so long to find them in my size and now that I have them, I have to say that they make the perfect shoes for warm weather. Not only are they light weight but they're comfortable and classy. Now all I have to do is watch out for when it rains!

In the Mood for Rays of Spring

Love that spring is here, even though it is still a bit chilly to just be in a sun dress. In this weather I like layering a soft sweater on top of something for summer. It is also fun to mix different textures and adding in a bit accessories.

In the Mood for Something Cutesy

Maybe I have a specific style, but in general, I love pretty much every thing as long as they are matched with the right stuff :) and I always think there is going to be a time in my life that I would not pull off certain outfits.

For example: denim mini skirts → loved it in high school, but after 2nd yr college I became self-conscious about wearing them.

Now I love bright colors and patterns and mix match them. One day I would not be able to pull off an outfit with so much pink and red, so now I am trying to appreciate them as much as I can :D
